Privacy Policy

1. Overview

BARU ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our website and mobile application (collectively, the "Service").

2. Information We Collect

We do not currently collect personal data. Our Service is designed to provide Asian plant-based recipe and ingredient information without requiring user accounts, sign-ups, or personal information.

• We do not require registration or login.
• We do not collect names, email addresses, or contact details.
• We do not track your recipe browsing activity.
• We do not use cookies for tracking or advertising purposes.

3. Analytics & Technical Data

We may use basic, privacy-respecting analytics to understand general usage patterns (such as page load counts). Any such data is aggregated and anonymous. We do not build individual user profiles or track browsing behavior across sessions.

4. Third-Party Services

Our Service may link to external websites (for example, original recipe sources). These third-party sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

5. Data Storage

Since we do not collect personal data, we do not store personal information on our servers. Any preferences you set within the app (such as bookmarked recipes) are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to us.

6. GDPR Compliance (European Users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have certain rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Because we do not collect or process personal data, these rights are not typically applicable. Should our data practices change in the future, we will update this policy and provide appropriate mechanisms for exercising your rights, including:

• Right of access to your personal data
• Right to rectification or erasure
• Right to restrict or object to processing
• Right to data portability

7. CCPA Compliance (California Users)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to know what personal data is collected, request deletion, and opt out of data sales. We do not sell personal data. As we do not currently collect personal information, there is no data to disclose or delete. Should this change, we will update this policy accordingly.

8. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
